Windheim in Spessart an der Hafenlohr was probably built around the year 1000 and, like the towns of Marienbrunn and Einsiedel, was a Neustadt monastery courtyard. Windheim was first mentioned in a document in 1342 when a "Heinrich von Windawe" was named as a priest in Rothenfels. Windheim belonged to the town of Rothenfels until it became an independent municipality in 1822. Due to the regional reform, the place was incorporated into Hafenlohr on January 1, 1974.
